I think he might of just been startled. Does he look like he's in pain? Keep him in a warm quiet place for a little while and then check him over again. You might just have to keep him away from the chickens until he's a bit bigger.

I dont know what the problem! He grow , but soooo slowely!
Another one is ok but he...im worried for him
Maybe its genetic problem

Hi Aliamelody,
hate to tell you my story, but it may helps you to save your ducky: By the End of June we saved six larger ducklings at the local store from being »recycled«. Five of them grew really quickly, the sixth one fell more and more behind. It had a lovely personality, a little explorer, always the first one examining new things. Then two weekends ago disaster struck. We had a "cold snap" here in WV, temperatures dropped over night into the upper 50's and it was humid and nasty outside. The larger duckies did not care and spent their night outside lying in the grass and of course the straggler stayed with them. Saturday morning it was lethargic, cold an wet, so i grabbed it, huddled it, warmed it up on my belly and hand fed it. In the afternoon she/he was back to normal and demanded to be set free so i returned the bird to its siblings. Big mistake! It was still cold and wet outside and by the evening she/he was back to being hypothermic and lethargic again. Took it back in, warmed and huddled it but it was too much, Sunday at noon it went away peacefully lying on my chest. It rests now under my large Tulip tree.
Was told by the neighbors: Keep the stragglers away from the larger ducks to avoid them being trampled and injured. Keep them warmer than the others as they do not have grown that many feathers and their smaller bodies do not contain that much warmth. They will grow up, maybe not to full size, but mature enough to care for themselves, they just need a bit more time.
